How to GAIN weight?

OW. Your logic hurts my brain.

How does my logic hurt your brain?


If you take 6 inches of fat, take 4 inches of muscle and put them on a scale, the muscle will weigh more.

Why? Muscle has more density as opposed to more mass.

Yes, if you take 1 pound of fat and 1 pound of muscle and weigh them both, they will both equal 1 pound.


Density: A measure of the amount of matter contained by a given volume.

Yay / Nay?

::Edit::

Here's a look at them both under a microscope:

Muscle DOES weigh more than fat. A cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch of fat. Yes, muscle is more dense than fat, which is why muscle weighs more.

Obviously a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. When trying to determine which weighs more, that's not relevant.

So then what exactly are we debating about here? lol

You said muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, but it's denser than fat. That's like saying "pie doesn't taste better than cake, it's just more delicious than cake."

Alright K_A, fair enough.

I'm also jumping on the bandwagon for wanting to gain weight. Have you tried any of the suggested methods? If so which have worked?

You don't really want to gain "weight." You want to gain muscle. Work out.

if you want to gain weight, all you need to do is intake more calories than you burn off. i'd say eat an extra 500 calories a day (if can be healthy foods if you want) na dhtat will put on weight in a healthy time span ( 1 - 2 pounds a week). all my sports med and nutrition classes go over this and say the same thing.

When trying to determine which weighs more, that's not relevant.

fuck u ww
